DmD#FBbDm It’s been a long day, short night GmDm Well I can hardly wait until we had our date D#FBbDm It’s been a long, long, long day, GmDm And then we meet at last, the hours passed so fast D#FBb It was a short, short night
Bb The moment when I’m alone with you Cm That’s when all of my wishes and all of my dreams come true Dm But time waits for no one D#F When there’s so much love here in my heart D#F Honey, why we had to part?
It’s been a long day, short night I need to love so much that when we’re out of touch It’s a long, long, long day, But will you marry me, each night of love will be A very short, short night
